Which Warranty??

Post by R5CPK » Wed Jun 03, 2009 6:31 am

I have just bought a 2001 Y reg RS4 with 65k on the clock and it has a full Audi main dealer history.

I am considering buying a warranty so am looking for advice please on who provides the best cover for the most reasonable price, also who to avoid!!

Ideally I would want to take my car to the main dealer for any work but there is an independent nearby too.

Are these warranties worth it? Bearing in mind cost of repairs and parts for this car?

Thanks.

Mines with warranty direct. Seriously, don't take it to a main dealer!! MRC or Unit20 and it will be bang on,

Before taking out the warranty, you need to be careful that any faults currently present are rectified and the car gets a documented clean bill of health from a specialist.
That way the warranty co. will find it hard to wriggle out of any problems arguing that they were already present.
IMHO 65k miles is the time when everything starts to need attention on these so yes it would be worth it.
RAC Warranty underwritten by TWG seems quite good.
